Hi,

「スネイプの研究室に誰が忍び込んだか、もしや、おまえ、見なんだか?」

What is the grammar of 見なんだ? Is 見 a noun here? How is it pronounced? けん?
 
OK, thanks, is なかった -> なんだ a general dialect pattern, or is it only for this one case?
 
なんだ[助動]の意味 - 国語辞書 - goo辞書

It's a general pattern in Kanasai or Western Japanese dialect. (Incidentally, it's common also in my home town. I'm using it in daily conversations.) As in the dictionary linked above, it's from classical Japanese, so the only exception is that the negative of する is せなんだ, not しなんだ(as in せぬ/せず vs しない).
